China--In China and many eastern cultures, formal introductions are infinitely important. Your whole future in the relationship can be colored by current standing of the person introducing you. Jacobs is clearly well acquainted with ?(escapes me) the head of Loral through their G* venture. The head of Loral, no matter what your political opinion of his "illegal" technology transfer to China, must now have the highest standing in China's ruling circles and their technological arena. It is but a small leap to assume that this man has given Irwin Jacobs, self made man, one of the most honestly glowing personal introductions in all of history. You better believe this really counts in China! My conclusion, with a high confidence level, is that Qcom will get every break in China and Q will become, perhaps the leading political player in China's CDMA venture--despite the fact that they currently build no infrastructure equipment. Who will give Chris Galvin, the apparent IRID screw up, a glowing personal introduction. I think Q will overcome Clinton's accidental bombing if the China embassy. I can see why China finds it incredible that the worlds prominent military tech giant could have such a dumb accident. It is a stretch, but have you noticed how involved the President of Finland has been in Kosova and shuttling off to China to talk about Kosova. Didn't I hear rhat tiny Finland would be sending some forces to Kosova. This has to have something to do with trying to defend NOK's China franchise.

michael, I think it is absolutely imperativethat QC set up A FEW JV facilities in China with China Unicom as soon as possible. That is the market of the future. OT- SAD NEWS I got a couple of phone messages from Maurice yesterday. It was obvious that he was calling from a non QCOM cell phone. The voice quality was so poor that I refused to accept them. May be he will find a good QCOM CDMA connection and call me again today. I just think the thread wants to know and agree that it is unforgivable for Maurice to disappear from the thread while secretly calling people on a, most likely, MOT analog antique phone. Ramsey

Q! and China: Corporate and State Relationships: I commend the thread to mp's post: Message 10186675 and the two responses to it, those of JohnG and Ramsey. The most significant part of the story contained in mp's post is not so much the story itself, which is bullish as such, but THAT IT WAS CARRIED BY XINHUA, not the South China Post, not HK Post, not Bloomberg, but Xinhua. The implication is weighty beyond peradventure. JohnG's opining (shared by me earlier) follows on perfectly as premise follows fact, rather than fact confirming premise. Sorry this is so retarded, as in tardy, as I am trying to catch up. Regards. Steven
